The heart of a Lamborghini, the manners of a luxury saloon. Verified personally by Iván Mora, this Audi R8 V10 delivers the legendary naturally aspirated roar for the Tenerife motorways, minus the uncompromising stiffness of a track car."
What you need to know before driving it (By Iván Mora):
"I will be honest: this is often the most underestimated car in my fleet, and yet, it is the one I find myself driving the most on weekends.
The Secret: Under the bonnet, this car shares the exact same V10 naturally aspirated engine and chassis as the Lamborghini Huracán. The difference? The Audi R8 knows how to behave.
My Driving Experience: When I take the R8 for a spin down the TF-1 towards Adeje, I usually keep it in 'Comfort' mode. It’s smooth, the magnetic suspension eats up the bumps, and you can have a conversation.
But the moment I reach the mountain roads near Santiago del Teide, I press the 'Performance' button on the steering wheel. That is when the V10 wakes up. The sound is raw, metallic, and addictive—without the turbo lag you get in other supercars.
My Advice: If you are debating between the Lamborghini and this R8: choose the Lamborghini for the attention; choose the R8 if you want that same V10 performance but plan to drive longer distances or have a romantic dinner where you want to arrive relaxed, not shaken.
Engine: 5.2L V10 Naturally Aspirated. Why it matters: Instant throttle response. No turbo lag. Just pure, immediate power that gives you confidence when overtaking on short straights.
Transmission: S-Tronic Dual Clutch. Owner's Note: It shifts faster than you can blink, but is incredibly smooth in automatic mode for cruising through town.
The Quattro System: Safety Note: Unlike some rear-wheel-drive supercars that can be twitchy on dusty island roads, the R8’s 4-wheel drive grips the asphalt like glue. It is incredibly forgiving and safe.
Virtual Cockpit: The navigation map appears right in front of the steering wheel, so you never have to take your eyes off the beautiful Tenerife landscape.
CILC Frequently Asked Questions
Experts answers by Iván Mora
1. Is the car I book the exact model I will receive?
Yes, absolutely. Unlike standard rental agencies that offer «or similar» categories, at CILC you book a specific chassis. If you reserve our Ford Mustang Cabrio in Miami Blue or the Lamborghini Huracán, that is exactly the car we will hand over to you. No surprises, no last-minute swaps.
Note: We guarantee the specific make and model reserved. The only exception occurs if the vehicle is unavailable due to an unforeseen accident or mechanical breakdown prior to your arrival. In such rare cases, we will contact you immediately to offer a free upgrade to a superior category or a full refund.
2. Do I need to pay a security deposit for luxury vehicles?
Yes, a security deposit is required for all our premium vehicles. The amount varies depending on the category (e.g., a Mustang requires less than a Lamborghini). This deposit is fully refundable upon the safe return of the vehicle. We process the release immediately after our «Owner-Check» at drop-off to ensure a frictionless experience.
3. Does the rental price include insurance?
Yes, we believe in transparent, friction-free pricing. All our quotes include mandatory third-party liability insurance and 24/7 roadside assistance across Tenerife. We do not hide fees. For specific comprehensive coverage options (reducing the excess), please consult with our concierge team during your booking.
4. Can CILC deliver the car to my hotel or the airport?
We specialise in VIP delivery exclusively across Tenerife. We can meet you at Tenerife South (TFS) or North (TFN) airports with the paperwork ready, so you can drive away in minutes. We also deliver to private villas, hotels (like Abama or Bahía del Duque), or any specific location on the island. Please note that our delivery and collection services are strictly limited to Tenerife to guarantee our high standards of punctuality and personal care.
5. What is the minimum age to rent a car with CILC?
Requirements vary by vehicle category. For our standard luxury models (such as the Ford Mustang), drivers must be at least 25 years old with a minimum of 5 years of driving experience. For our top-tier supercars and premium models (e.g., Lamborghini, Ferrari), the minimum age is strictly 30 years. These policies are mandated by our insurance providers to guarantee the safety and proper handling of our high-performance fleet.
6. Are your American cars (Mustangs) suitable for Tenerife’s roads?
They are perfect, and we are the island’s specialists. Having started as Tenerife Mustang, Iván Mora has verified that our American fleet handles the island’s terrain beautifully. Our Mustangs are ideal for cruising the coastal motorways, while their suspension is compliant enough for comfortable touring. For tight mountain hairpins (like Masca), we might recommend our Porsche fleet for better agility.
7. Can I take the car to another Canary Island?
No, vehicles are strictly prohibited from leaving the island of Tenerife. Our insurance coverage and 24/7 roadside assistance infrastructure are exclusively established for Tenerife. Transporting the vehicle by ferry to other islands (such as Gran Canaria or La Gomera) voids all insurance protections and constitutes a breach of the rental contract. We enforce this policy to ensure we can provide our full support and guarantee your safety at all times.
8. How do I know the car is in perfect condition?
Because Iván Mora drives them daily. We are not a broker; we own and manage our fleet. Every car undergoes a strict «Owner-Check» before delivery—checking tyre pressure, fluid levels, and engine sound. We guarantee the vehicle is not just safe, but «emotionally ready» for you to enjoy.
9. Do you offer cars for photoshoots or music videos?
Yes, we provide «Camera-Ready» vehicles. We have extensive experience working with production companies for music videos, fashion editorials, and films. We understand «Golden Hour» logistics and can provide a precision driver (often Iván himself) to handle the vehicle on set.
10. What payment methods do you accept?
We accept major credit cards (Visa & Mastercard) and cash (within legal limits). We also offer the option to pay via bank transfer for advance bookings. Our goal is to make the transaction as smooth as the drive itself.
